Jason and Tara: Wedding video preview

I’m currently working on a wedding video for Jason Mudd and Tara Underwood. The couple married in July 2010 during an evening ceremony at Gingerwoods in Prospect, Ky. The reception was held on-site. Brad Luttrell shot stills.

Maine Media Workshops

When the Canon 5D Mark II arrived in late 2008 it ushered in a revolution in multimedia photojournalism. Now photographers carrying a DSLR camera could not only capture moments and events with still images but also record stunning high definition video using brilliant DSLR lenses.

In July I will have the pleasure of teaching a weeklong multimedia reporting class at the Maine Media Workshops. The class is entitled "Stills and Video for Multimedia" and will explore how to capture content with cameras and edit it into a multimedia story.

We will focus on reporting multimedia stories with stills, video and sound. The class will shoot with DSLRs and will edit in Final Cut Pro.

The 2010 catalog is now online and more information on the workshops are there too. My class is July 11-17. Tuition is $1,050.

Maine has a boatload of workshops for every facet of photography, multimedia and filmmaking. If you want to learn from the best, check them out.

Night vision not included

One of the biggest advantages to using a 5D Mark II over a traditional video camera is its superb low-light capability. I recently built a website for the Louisville jazz band Fattlabb and shot stills and video for the site.

I used two lenses, a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L and a manual Nikkor 50mm f/1.4. Pushing the camera's ISO at times to 4000-6400 I was able to capture great footage in what was a very dark stage at Louisville's Zanzabar.
